Thierry ConstantinAguares Cornalin 2023

About this wine

Thierry Constantin's 2023 Aguares Cornalin is a beautiful expression of one of Valais' most exciting indigenous grapes. This is the kind of wine that makes you fall in love with alpine viticulture, where old vines cling to steep slopes and produce something truly special.

On the nose, you'll find bright red fruits like wild strawberries and raspberries, with subtle floral notes and a touch of mountain herbs. The palate is elegant and fresh, with silky tannins and a lovely mineral backbone that comes from those high-altitude vineyards. There's a beautiful balance between fruit purity and earthy complexity, finishing with a persistent, savoury edge that keeps you coming back for another sip.

This Cornalin shines alongside traditional Swiss dishes like raclette or dried meat from Valais. It's also perfect with roasted duck breast or mushroom risotto. Serve it at 16-18°C to let all those delicate aromas unfold properly.
